lle it known that l. Tiioxias lt. liioos, a citizen of the United States, und resident of Englewood. in the county of llergen und Siate ot`.\'cw Jersey. Iiiive iliade. a certain new and useful Invention Relating to Valves or Faucets. of which the following is a speci finition, taken in connection with the accom mnving drawings, which forni a part ol' t ie saine.

This invention relates to vulves or faucctniid relates more particularly to faucets employed for drawing liquids maler presnttt'c. t f ln tbc acconipairving drawings, showing an illustrative embodiment of this invention, and in which thc same reference niiint-rais refer to similar parts in the several ligure. Figure l iii a longitudinall aectiomd view of the faucet. Fig. 2 is n trium- -vci'sc view. taken on the "nett-f2 of Fig. l,

und Fig. 2l is an enlarged detail sectional view.'

lii thc illustrative eiulualinienti-i of this invention, shown iii the drawings, the easing ot' ilie faucet comprises. ii central section which mav consist of threaded collare 1i and 12. unitei b v a plurality of liars 9 and 10, and inner and outer end .sections 1 and 13 which are provided ith threaded rtionii to engage the threaded collars wien the arts are in their assembled positions. The inner auction l, mail be .provided with a threaded portion 28 iy incanti of which the faucet may be attached to any suitable snpport and the outer portion i3 inny be provided lwith a suitable spoilt 17. Each of said end sections mav be provided with a seat. 29 against which the )aching 19, of cork, leather, rubber and so ortli, is adapted to reet and said packing may be retained in itii position by means of a bushing 24, which innv be provided with an interior thread and may have lugs 22 engaging re classes 23 formed in the casin to permit longitudinal movement of said usliing, but to prevent. it from rotating, in order that as the bushing is moved to exert greater or .lesa pressure upon the packing, the direction plrovid provided with a threaded portion enga 'in the threaded lliortion of bushing and w iic may he provii ed with n tlangc :0 seated i the recess 2 formed in the casing to perni the sleeve to rotate freely but to prevei any longitudinal movement of the sani Suitable retmises 2l ma bc formed in tli exposed surface of the i-i ecvc 25, adapted t be engaged b v a s niniier wrench or an other suitable tool y niennii ot which th sleeve maybe rotated, without having t take the casing apart. As the sleeve :5 rotated, the bush-ing 4 will he advanced i retracted to exert a greater or haai premio uponthe packing lil', its direction of mort ment depending, of colina', upon the diret tion of rotation of the sleeve 25.

Movabl mounted within the eaning an an iportet within the :thieves .25 is a tabula vn vcl, tothe movement of which the liipiii whether niidcr high or Ilow pia-naitre. otci practically no rinnstannnnnd thc ontci' cir 16, of which when the vulve is in ita nornni or closed position will engage n rephiceahl packing I4 which may be retained in posi tion by a nat la'i, thus preventing tiow o liquid through the faucet. When the tn billar valve is moved into its discharge n open position as shown in Fig. l. liquid i permitted to tlow through said tnbiilar valv and out through the spout 17. v

Movement may be iin nrted to the tnbiiln valve 8 by means ot a iandle 8 which inaI bo supported n i on the bar tl inl am' init able manner aa a pivot (l and said linndl may be provid with arms 30 which n ia have slots 7 formed therein with which roll ers 34 engage which may be mounted npoi the tabular valve 8, in any suitable minnie as bv being loosely mounted on the. higfi I on the valve. t o

Having thus described this invention. ii connection with the illustrativeeinlanliment thereof, to the details of which disclosnr the invention iii not, of course, to be limited what is claimed as new aml what is deairci to be surcd b Letters lntcut is act 5' :'tl in the appcndt. claims. t

1. In a faucet, a" casing comprising a een' triil section consisting of threaded collar nnitedaby a phirality ot bara, cnil auction wl threaded portiona engaging ie threaded collars, a tubular valve mov ably iiion-ntcd witliiii said casing, each o said end sections being provided with a scat said casing, operating recesses formed in the exposed surface of said sleeves, a handle` to operate said valve inonntcdinmn said a casing and provided with arms, having slots formed therein, lugs on said valve, rollers carried by said lugs and engaging said slots and a replaceable packing with which the outer end of said tu nilar valve engages when in its closed position.

2. In a faucet, a casing comprisin a central section comprising connected tireaded collars, end sections irovided with threaded portions engaging tie threaded collars, a tubular valve mdviibly inpuiited within said casin each of said end sections being provid with a seat, packing sup rted in said seats and -coacting with said va ve, interiorly threaded bushing co-iicting with said packings and provided with lugs engaging slots in said casings, sleeves having threaded portions engaging the threads of the bushings and provi ed with flanges engaging in re ceses formed in said casings, operating receiaieslornicd in the ex|msed surface of said sleeves, a handle to'operato saidtuliular `val'e and a replaceable packing with which tlie outer'end of said tubular valve engages when in its closed position.

` 8. In valves, a casing comprising o central section havin Y connected collars, V.end sec-- tions provid with portions connected to u' said collars, a tubular valve movably mounted within said casing, packing supported in :each of said end sections and co-acting with said vaiv,e,-longitudinally movable bushings movably mounted within said casin a plul co-acting', with said packin rotary sleeves coperating with said bushings to move the same and provided with a normally exposed surface, means to move said tabular Valve and a packing with which the outer end.. of said valve engages when in its closed position.

4. In valves,` a casing, -a tubular valve rted wit in said rality of packin su casing und co-acting wit said vulve, longi- .tudinally movable l'iushings cti-acting with simi packing, rotary sleeves held against substantial longitudinal movement,coperat` in with said ushings to move the same, an piovided with normally exposed, sub stantiiilly radial o erating surfaces, means to niovc said tu u ar valve and means for closing the outer end of said valve when in its normal ioaition. c
